I am about to change my setup, so now I have some questions. I am thinking about buying the trickflow setup as its ll matched. But I am also thinking about going afr 185.ifI do what cam do I use? I have a 70 mm tbody, and track heat intake already, I also have a vortech s trim, I would love to get a custom cam but cannot afford it so Iwould just like to know what ofs cam would be good. Also I wanna use longtubes I have done the foxbody tbody swap so what headers could I use? will foxbody headers clear our cars? if so I have mac longtubes if not what headers should I get? thanks guys in advanced I just wanna max as much as I can

Not a bad idea. Matched is the keyword.

But I am also thinking about going afr 185.ifI do what cam do I use?

1-800-ED-CURTIS. Okay, that's not his number. Go to his website www.flowtechinduction.com. Custom cams are cheap for what you get.

You cannot afford a custom cam, but you can afford to go with AFR185's? We're talking about a $100 premium to get expert advise for the most important part of your combo.

so Iwould just like to know what ofs cam would be good.

Nobody here has enough knowledge to give you anything more than opinion, usually based on very limited experience. There is a reason people pay extra for custom cams, ya know.

Also I wanna use longtubes I have done the foxbody tbody swap so what headers could I use?

The difference between Fox headers and 94/95 headers is that the 94/95 ones have an EGR bung. Physically, either will fit.
